Corner Card

This card has a drop-down corner which is easy to make. I will try to do a tutorial on how to make it in the next couple of days.  The circle around the image is a recycled piece from a greeting card I received.  The image is from Lunagirl.

Using Lace

Here is a card using lace as a background.  Other elements include circles made into a flower, flourish stickers, and a small bow.  The sentiment is by Our Daily Bread Designs.

Lunagirl's Challenge

Lunagirl is having a Fairy and Mermaid Challenge.  Here is a sample of one of her images.  My background, which goes great with the image, is from Gecko Galz.  They worked perfectly together.

September at Gecko Galz

September is "Tricks and Treats" at Gecko Galz.  All the secary artwork comes out this month.  I do not like to create anything with a Halloween, but I did make a couple for the theme.  Below is the badge for this month so you can put it on your blog and a little info about the Customer Challenge.

 

The challenge runs from September 1-29 so there is plenty time to create and enter.  There is only one rule, and that is you need to use at least ONE  product from Gecko Galz.  It can be one of the free products, stamps, collage images, or digital papers!!  It is up to you!! 

 

The winner will receive a $25 Gecko Galz shopping spree.

 

Here are some samples from me including a couple using the September theme.

For this card I cut through the Gecko  Galz background and made t he fog wrap around the image giving it a 3D look

The image on this card is really cute.  I thought an orange background was appropriate for the occasion.

This is a page from an album I am making.  It is made with 3 business-size envelopes for each page.  A page holds 5 pockets in which   you can put tags or other items of embellishment.

This is a tag that will go into one of the pockets on one of my album pages, but not necessarily on the page above.  I am creating the pages and pockets as an idea comes to me.

 

Below is the freebie image sheet Gecko Galz is giving away to you.  Grab it from my page if you like.

 

 

 

My Inspirational Piece

My inspirational piece for my final challenge before taking a break uses a cute image from Little Blue Button Stamps who is my sponsor this time.    The card base is black with a flowery designer paper cut into strips.  The image is on a black base and so is the sentiment.  Both are on dimensionals so they pop off the front.  The image is colored with Copic markers.

Final Week of Challenges

The best-laid plans sometimes don't work.  I had company come in when I  usually write my post so this is late and I don't have my card created yet.  I will post my sample mid-week.
Don't forget the challenge theme.  It is "Remembering Summer".  This is my last challenge for a while.

 

Hazel

This is a similar card to the one I made for week 1 of this challenge, once again using the lovely Miss Lily on the beach image kindly supplied by the challenge sponsor, Little Blue Button, coloured with chameleon pens. Papers and card used to create the background were  from various bits and pieces that have built up over the years, tearing to give the idea of the sea and beach with a torn piece of DCWV summer paper text across the middle and a piece of DCWV flip flops grosgrain ribbon with a few other bits and pieces. I made the bucket and spade look shiny by covering with glossy accents, although that doesn't show here.

Remember the movie "A League of their Own"? About the women's baseball leagues?  This freebie digital stamp from Little Blue Button reminded me of that movie.  Baseball is one of the joys and memories of summer for some. For this card I used background digital paper by Gecko Galz and colored the Little Blue Button digital stamp with colored pencils.  I created the sentiment in photoshop and added a flower, enamel dot and dragonfly sticker.  There is one last week to link up!  But there are still three weeks of summer left...  Enjoy them.

For the second week of Remembering Summer I chose miss Lily at the beach, I fussy cut most of the image and cut the remainder with an oval classic die, the background was a piece of watercoloured paper left from another project, I think it's perfect.  Patterned paper is from the dollar stop in Simcoe as are the glittery buttons.

 

Karla

For the second week of Remembering Summer, I used a lovely image from freebie section of Little Blue Button. It was digitally colored and bordered. Then I just added some flowers. Hope you keep playing along with us!Have an inspiring week!

Challenge #119-"Remembering Summer"

It has been a great summer in Tennessee this year.  It has been warm, but not too hot.  We have had rain, but not too much and there is a hint of Fall.  How you remember this summer is the theme of my challenge this time.

Vicki

I made a card reminding me of the seashell we found this summer.  I decided to go with summer stripes.  The Little Blue Button image is colored with Copics.

Hazel

For my card I've used the Miss Lily on the beach image kindly supplied by the challenge sponsor, Little Blue Button, coloured with chameleon pens. All papers and card used are from my offcuts box. I added the little rubber flip flops that have been in my stash for ages.

Michele

Much though I love autumn I never really am quite ready to let summer go.  For my first DT creation "remembering summer" I've used a sweet image from Little Blue Button called "Sophie with Flower."  I colored her with colored pencils and used background designer paper by Gecko Galz.  I did use both summer and autumn colors in recognition of the changing seasons.  I kept this creation simple, embellishing with just a flower and an enamel dot.  I look forward to seeing what you make!

Challenge #119 at the Cheerful Stamp Pad is Remembering summer, well it's not over yet as next week we are going to have a beautiful week it's cooler in the evening and much better for sleeping. Little Blue Button stamps is the sponsor for this challenge. I picked up this lovely image as a freebie on their blog. A friend was the sketch designer at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I wanted to use it which was  interesting as I flipped the sketch and used a circle. The sentiment I used is a Hero Arts seasons set, this is the Summer one.

Karla

For the first week of "Remembering Summer", I made a card using an image called Miss Lilly on the beach which was kindly supplied by our sponsor Little Blue Button. I colored and framed it digitally and then I added ribbons, buttons and a sentiment. Hope you keep playing along with us. Have an magical weekend!

 

 

Thanks to Little Blue Button Stamps for the sponsorship of  my final challenge.

Karla

For the second week of Birthday, I made a card using a freebie from Little Blue Button and it is called Miss Lilly jar of hearts.I colored it digitally and added die cuts flowers and butterflies. I also used some crystals and an adhesive paper tape.Have a creative weekend and keep playing along with us!

Hazel

For the second week of our challenge 118 I used the same digital image as last week - the lovely 'Sophie with flower' image supplied by the sponsor, Little Blue Button  - coloured with chameleon pens and die cut using an X cut parenthesis rectangular die, using a larger one for the mat  using an offcut of Hot off the Press paper. Corrugated strip and spotted ribbon from stash and the lovely organza flower with pearls in the centre. The background paper is some that I've had for a long time -

Barbara

I found this free Blue Button image and the first thing I thought was best friends birthday and I made it in my two favourite colours. the frame is from Impression Obsessions, I used the tulip border embossing folder to frame the image. If you check my blog you will see what I did on the inside with one of the parts of this frame. The sponsor for the challenge is Blue Button stamps and the image I used is Forever Friends the July freebie from Little Blue Button stamps.

Michele

I grabbed this Little Blue Button digital stamp from the freebie section of their website.  This creation is entirely digitally created in Adobe Photoshop.  I bordered the digital image, placed it on digital designer paper by Gecko Galz then colored it, and added the sentiment all in Photoshop.  I think this one came out very sweetly.  One last week to link up!

Clown Card

I have really enjoyed making cards with clowns as the main image.  Here is one using one of my favorite Gecko Galz clown images.  The color strips are pieces of a Gelli print.

Just Playing Around

I was just trying out a new die I bought the other day.  I thought I would make a fancy Panera cup.  It turned out pretty cute.  I used a number embossing folder on the background.  I placed it on a strip of designer paper to give the card a little more color.

Only Two Challenges Left

There are only two more challenges before I take a break from hosting challenges.  The theme this time is "Happy Birthday".  I have gotten a little out of sync with my starting day for the challenge so I am beginning this one even though the Anything Goes challenge is not closed.  Have fun!

Vicki

My birthday card uses the Little Miss Cupcake image from my sponsor Little Blue Button Stamps.  She is colored with Copic markers and this time holds a cupcake with caramel icing-my favorite!

 

 

Karla

For the first week of Birthday, I made a card using the adorable Little Blue Button "Miss Lily Big Cupcake" which was digitally colored. Then I added lace, fabric flowers, ribbons and crystals. Have an inspiring weekend and keep playing along with us!

Michele

Every day is someone's birthday!  Thus it is always good to get stocked up on good homemade birthday cards. The card I am sharing today was created digitally.  I took this adorable digital stamp from little blue button and placed it on digital designer paper from Gecko Galz.  I colored the image and added the sentiment using Adobe Photoshop.  This will be a fun card to share with someone, especially, perhaps, a young girl.  I look forward to seeing your creations!

Barbara

Another two weeks has flown by and it's time for a new challenge, for this fortnight it's Happy Birthday. We are always in need of a stash of birthday cards and it's handy to be able to go pick one out for an almost forgotten date. The sponsor is Blue Button stamps, and this is one of the images we were given to play with for the challenge.  I did a lot of colouring yesterday and surfed around for a sketch and decided to wait until Monday morning to check out Mojo Monday and so glad it is the perfect sketch for the super cute digi.

Hazel

For my card I used the lovely 'Sophie with flower' image supplied by the sponsor, Little Blue Button, coloured with spectrum noir pens. Background papers are from my offcuts box from long ago, the left hand piece being DCWV. Ribbons  and pearls from stash.

A special thank you to Little Blue Button Stamps for sponsoring this challenge.
